Description
Appearance:
Light Tan Powder
Typical analysis:
Boron (B) 186 g/kg
Crop Types & Application rates:
Crops: The full range of field crops, vegetables, fruit and ornamentals may be treated. Responses will be dependent on their susceptibility to any particular deficiency. All edible crops may be treated right up until harvest.
In independent customer trials in Slovakia and Italy, BA Boron was shown to generate higher tissue Boron levels 21 days after application than the equivalent dose of Boron Ethanolamine 150g/L
Rates of Application: Maintenance 1.5 kg/ha, Moderate Deficiency 3.5 kg/ha, Severe Deficiency 3.5 kg/ha repeated
Timings: As with all trace element sprays frequent repeated applications at relatively low rates are preferable to one large dose.
As nutrients are taken in by the foliage sufficient leaf area must be present to absorb the spray. This normally coincides with the 3-leaf stage onwards in most crops.
Applications should be made in the early morning or late evening when the uptake by the plant will be maximised.
Mixing & Spraying:
Water Volumes: Do not apply in less than 200 litres of water per hectare unless the spraying equipment is specifically designed for low volume application (e.g. Airtec or low volume hydraulic nozzles).
DO NOT MIX with hormone weedkillers or mixtures containing hormone weedkillers unless specific recommendations are given.
Compatibility:
